DATELINE: SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., April 25, 1983

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., April 25 /PRN/ -- Stevie Nicks,
one of the headliners May 30 at the "US '83" Festival, is now in a
Hollywood recording studio working on her new album and promises to
release a single from it before her guest-starring performance,
according to Unuson, sponsor of the festival.
The "US '83" festival will be held at the Glen Helen Regional
Park in Devore, May 28-30 and June 4.
Ms. Nicks, a longtime member of the superstar group Fleetwood
Mac, will be the only headlining performer to return from last
year's first "US" festival, where Fleetwood Mac gave one of
the standout performances, say the organizers.
Her solo appearance at the "US '83" Festival marks a new phase
in her career. It was only with the release of her first
solo album, "Bella Donna," in 1981, that she began performing
as a solo superstar as well as with the group.
Both the name of the new Nicks single and that of her album
are being kept top secret. Although releasing schedules in
the record industry are notoriously imprecise, Unuson says that
present plans call for the release of the single around
May 7, and for release of the album on the last Friday in May --
just before her May 30 appearance.
Her first solo album was a long time in the making, but as
Nicks says: "It took me a great deal of time and soul searching
to go out on my own; and even though I usually write three or
four songs for each Fleetwood Mac album, I'm not the most prolific
writer in the world.
"I don't write like anybody else. I can't just sit downn
and write a song on the spur of the moment. Mine are more like
running commentaries on my life./NOTE -- Tickets for the "US '83" Festival are available nationwide. For information, call 800-222-0533. In Southern
